so im looking to replace my center bearing assembly on the drive shaft. when i called and looked aroung my local auto part stores (napa, autozone, pep boys...etc) they all directed me to assemblys that look nothing like the one that is already on mine. refering to my Haynes repair manual its shows that there are 2 types of center bearing assemblys. type 2 which seems to be identical with the ones that are sold EVERYWHERE and is all i can seem to find. HOWEVER mine seems to have the type 1 that says is used wit the 9-1/4 axle. it is also a little bigger in shape and is a square shape instead of the type 2 which seems smaller and rounded... i cannot find this type 1 center bearing assembly anywhere!!! wtf? i talked to the guy at autozone and he said that the one they carry (type 2) would work. anyone have this problem? anyone know how to take out the drive shaft with this center bearing assembly? please and thank you!!
